Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 30 years old female with good BMI and no BP history. Over the past 6 months I started going to gm and last 2 weeks I worked out more than usual.Now when I checked my BP it is 160/ 90. Is it very unusual. Would it be due to over working out as I had nos symptoms.
Madam you have no history of any hypertension and diabetes .Your blood pressure keeps on changing whole days as per your activities and hormonal response. Please check your BP thrice a day in resting and sitting position and then only you can come to a conclusion whether you have Hypertension or not .If your BP is more then 140/90 mmHg as median average then you need lifestyle modifications and may be medications. Do not check you BP post Excercise it will definitely show high readings.
